About DicE

Digital compliance refers to the alignment between computer-supported processes and laws and regulations. Compliance is difficult because it requires being able to express the intent and possible interpretations of laws into formal models, align models into the digital footprints of a process, and inspect that footprints do not generate violations.

To perform compliance verification, we need a solid understanding of the legal text and its context. Moreover, given the continuous evolution of laws, we need to adjust computational techniques over time. Not surprising, most of this process still needs to be done manually, leading to a large latency in audits and processes that cannot be deployed.

This project aims to establish the first center in Denmark where law and computer science scholars work proactively in creating algorithmic techniques to design and develop solutions for digital compliance. In its first phase, the center will :

1. Uncover fundamental possibilities and limits of algorithmic views within compliance.

2. Identify the areas within which digital compliance solutions are plausible

3. Define a roadmap for developing algorithmic compliance solutions that are valuable for particular areas.
